" I pick up my telephone receiver and it's all there; the whole marginal network catches and harasses me with the insupportable good faith of evverything that wants and claims to communicate."
"That's the ecstacy of communication. All secretes, spaces and scenes abolished in a single dimension of information. That's obscenity."
This overload of everything is something that my generation has simply grown up in. I can't remember a time with out the constant phone calls from telemarketers, the advertisements hung on buses and public benches. This is our world, I couldn't imagine anything different. I live everyday with someone trying to sell me something, someone trying to push the lastest opinion into me. As young people today, we are raised by society to believe that it is only the elite that can have there lives splashed across newspapers and the television. I couldn't imagine this world that use to be, it would have been so....quite, that loss of constant stimulation would be so different. Maybe that is why so many of us are alway going, going, going. Why alot of people are so stressed out, having breakdowns. The simpler times, the simpler life, it seems so alien to me.
